We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Some homes look out on history. Bryncenydd House stands within it.
Set inside the grounds of Caerphilly Castle, this is one of only a handful of private residences in the entire United Kingdom to hold an address within a castle's own estate - a distinction that simply cannot be built, bought elsewhere, or replicated.
Begun in 1268 by the Norman Marcher lord Gilbert de Clare, "Gilbert the Red", Caerphilly is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Britain after Windsor.
It was the first truly concentric fortress in these isles - walls within walls, ringed by vast man-made lakes that were the engineering marvel of their age and the blueprint for every great castle that followed.
Its walls withstood a siege by the armies of Queen Isabella in 1326, and its famously leaning south-east tower has out-tilted Pisa for the best part of four centuries.
To live here is to wake each morning to thirty acres of medieval Wales on your doorstep, the drum towers and glassy moat catching the early light - and then to close your own front door on all of it.
Homes of this pedigree do not come to market; they come available. Very occasionally.
Beyond the address itself, Bryncenydd House delivers the practicalities that make a landmark home genuinely liveable: 7 bedrooms / 7 reception rooms / 2.51 acre plot size / parking and period features .
Caerphilly town centre, its independent shops and the mainline station are all within a short walk, placing Cardiff city centre roughly 18 minutes away by rail - a rare combination of the extraordinary and the everyday.
An incredibly rare opportunity to buy one of the few homes in the UK that has a Castle and a moat in its back garden!.
Packed full of charm and character as well as the additon of a 2 bedroom Lodge (The Lodge) and a 1 bedroom Guest wing (The Courtyard). This truly is one of a kind.
